The flyer is amusing, but even if the lawn/grass/weeds are not to be watered, you'll want to keep them cut low in case of fire. My family got to evacuate during that 1985 Santa Cruz Mountains fire (fire got to within about 1/2 mile of our house), and I still remember the Oakland Hills fire in 1991. *Everything* survives better when the fire doesn't have lots of handy fuel!

2. weeds (they're *bad* here)
3. summer heat (rocks vs grass)
